Hot, Hotter Still And Heat Haze….It Can Only Be The US of A ;-)

True, Runway 1 is better for departures but the arrivals like those that kaplan dig took are more rare to see because of the distance. 🙂

Nice pics…

Now I see it. I was trying to place an arrival that had the bridge in the distance as seen in your pictures. It’s rare that I see pictures taken with arrivals on Runway 1 as most folks wait for Runway 19 arrivals since they are more spectacular. Great pictures none the less. 🙂

Actually, I think runway 1 is far better for photos at DCA, especially in the afternoon. Not only for the views already seen in this post, but also if you walk away from Gravelly Point towards the terminal along the cycle track, just before you get to the US Airways Express hangar the track goes up and over the airport exit road. Standing there, you can shoot photos well over the perimeter fence and you can get some great well lit shots of the uppers of aircraft as they hang a left turn immediately after take off to avoid the restricted airspace in the centre of Washington. For example…

I’m having trouble placing those last ones. Perhaps PHL?

Reagan.

That was going to be my next guess. 🙂

Nice to see a picture of one of our planes on the forums. 😀

Ok, here’s another one and last chance to name the airport :diablo:

No, it’s RDU, I thought the last ones would have been easy?

I’m pretty sure those first 6 are from Charlotte, NC but I dont know about the last 3 runway pictures.

4,5 and 6 are CLT.

I’d say MIA or DTW…probably miles out but oh well. By the way, great shots

I’m guessing that AA MD82 is at MSP?

CLT

JFK, EWR or LGA. Given traffic etc ill go for LGA?

Edit – Im a muppet. I thought was 1 airport but then reread and realised. Ok i think the black prop thing is at LGW.
